    I know the mc has time powers, but is there a secret org. or some bad guys after him and MC solving som problems, without going very flashy fight.

    The first one not quite. Say he is in battle against a monster, which as far as i read didn't happen all that often, he basically dies and gets to his safe point and tries.... and tries.... and tries again. Its not exactly time stopping but there is no denying its a time based power that is used rather well, at least for a while. Naturally he uses it for than just fighting, he uses it to learn too. Though he is limited there since he couldn't, as far as i read, learn other powers that are truly magic or supernatural, besides his time resetting.

    The second as i said i didn't read it yet.

    And i will be honest.... you won't find much, if anything at all, that always relies on time stopping. The concept itself is simply... unsuited.... to writting a story.
    Why?
    Because everything would be resolved in the same manner. Stop time to run? Check. Stop time to get another hit? Check. etc

    Time manipulation would be a better genre to look for, altough still in little use, it at least has a few stories.

    Psycho Busters, a manga with time powers in it. The powers exist from the very beginning, it is not time stop but they do use their abilities to run/fight an organization.

    Edit:
    I think time gets stopped at one point in the story, but that is on the level of a side effect. It is a bit rushed at the end, but it is fun trying to guess who has what power. It doesn't have time "stop" but they use it in a similar way.

    Also, I second Rude Time Stopper but it was dropped before it could really start to get going.

    Are you asking why I am recommending it?
    Well, to begin with, it is one of the most famous visual novels of all the time. Without a doubt one with the most epic fight scenes (on par with Fate franchise), great soundtrack and cast, few of the most memorable antagonist in JP stories (no matter the format).
    As for time stopping, MC's desire is literally for time to stop. You can't get closer to it. If you had to quote him, his most famous quote would be: "Halt, O time, for thou art fair beyond measure."

    Matcha and his Owner has the ability to stop time for a second and recharges the same, use one second recharge one second. It gets better as the time they stop gets long until a full minute or five.

    The ability is shared between them two, meaning if the owner use the ability, then matcha will also experience time stop and vice versa.

    This is funny as Matcha gaining intelligence use it on everything and the owner complained it is irritating as his world move, stop, move and then stop again.

    Due to its nature not many protagonists have that kind of power. Power over time is too powerful and complicate. Get what you can.

    No, I don’t think it meets your criteria either, but LMS is a good novel and

    The MC in the later chapters gains a power to stop time. Technically it was supposed to be a power to let him appreciate the moment and “smell the flowers along the way” in order to improve his artistic abilities, but the MC uses this power also to fight. As in stop time and kick the enemy or something. Anyway it’s a lot of comedy and adventure as well as well developed plot and secondary characters... when you run out of all the other time controlling novels to read that people have suggested- try this one.

    Only one I could think of. The MC has a time stop cheat. Sadly it's been dropped by the author.

    I have 48 Hours a Day
    MC is given an artifact my mysterious stranger that stops time at 0:00 in the night and gives mc extra 24hours.
    It's a novel like the devil's cage where mc has to participate in a game of Gods

    One of the heroine has the ability to slow, haste and stop the flow of time. The black organization is in the later volume.

    Again if you want an action one no matter how childish you can try boboboy xD
    One of the heroine has the same ability but she only use it to make herself move faster.

    This request brought to mind the manga Time Stop Brave. The MC has the power to stop time, and uses it constantly. Which is important, as he only has 3 days (when time is moving) to, he assumes, save the world, or else he will die. He basically solves his problems by abusing his ability to stop time, and when that doesn't work, he'll find a different way to abuse it than simply "time is stopped, openings ahoy!".
